The Argentina national team received a heroes’ welcome as they returned to Buenos Aires after winning the World Cup 2022.

Lionel Messi beamed as he carried the trophy down the steps of the plane as his team departed the aircraft, where they were greeted with a red carpet.

Rock band La Mosca greeted the team with a rendition of “Muchachos”, which became an unofficial anthem for the team at the tournament.
